Tools for this tag

=* describes whether an object that can be opened or closed is permanently open. This applies to objects such as gates (e.g. barrier=gate) and especially doors (door=*).

This key only applies to elements, which can be opened and closed. So for example it does not apply to:

This key should only be used, if you have sufficient local knowledge about the place, so that you can make a reasonable judgement regarding the value, similar to keys like locked=* and seasonal=*. Do not tag a value if you visited the place just once.

Possible values

The value describes the "default state" of a feature that can be opened / closed either by hand or a mechanism. Default means the idle or passive state of the feature without / prior to any user interaction.

  • =yes - Somehow open. Generic value, use a more specific value if possible.
    • =full - Completely open. For doors with multiple wings, all wings have to be fully open.
    • =partial - Only partially open. E.g. just one of several wings is open or one wing is just open to some extent. The key opening=* can be used to record the clearance width of the opening.
  • =no - Closed (default value). Needs to be opened by hand or a mechanism to pass through. access=* and related keys can be used to record whether and for whom this is allowed. The key locked=* can be used to record whether the feature is locked in its closed position.

Conditional opening

Main article: Conditional restrictions

If it is known that a feature is open at specific times or if it follows some other recurring pattern, use the :conditional=* syntax.

For example:

  • If doors are open, but closed during winter, it can be recorded with =yes and :conditional=no @ (winter).
  • If doors are only open during busy hours on Monday to Friday from 7am till 9am, it can be recorded with =no and :conditional=yes @ (Mo-Fr 07:00-09:00).

Examples

Image Tagging Description
indoor=door

door=hinged

=full

maxwidth:physical=2

Open door at a train station connecting the entrance hall to the platforms. The door is always fully open, so maxwidth:physical=* is sufficient.
entrance=yes

=no

maxwidth:physical=1.2

Closed door leading to the entrance hall of a train station. This may provide a challenge for wheelchair users. =no is assumed if not explicitly tagged oherwise.
entrance=yes

=partial

⁣opening=0.6

maxwidth:physical=1.2

Partially open door at a train station. While wheelchair users do not have to open the door, their wheelchair may not fit through.
barrier=gate

=partial

opening=1.5

maxwidth:physical=4

A sliding gate of a garage that is partially open. (Note that the image shows a private garage which in reality is probably not regularly open nor legally accessible)
barrier=gate

=full

maxwidth:physical=2.2

Open gate at an orchard. The gate is always fully open, so maxwidth:physical=* is sufficient.
